AI and ML Engineer

AI & ML Engineer As an AI / ML engineer at Booz Allen, you’ll help build advanced technology solutions and implement ML activities on some of the most mission-driven projects in the industry. With a high degree of self‑agency, you will thrive in environments where you are trusted to figure things out autonomously. You’ll provide a technically curious approach as you code, deploy, and develop AI / ML pipelines, models, and applications that organize and make disparate data meaningful. Responsibilities Work with and guide a multidisciplinary team of analysts, data engineers, developers, and data consumers in a fast‑paced, agile environment. Use hands‑on coding expertise for analytical exploration, model development, and data examination while managing the assessment, design, building, and maintenance of scalable AI / ML applications and solutions. Build and deploy AI / ML pipelines, models, and applications that bring structured and unstructured data into actionable insights for mission‑critical systems. Collaborate with customers to address real‑world challenges for the Army. Requirements 5+ years of experience architecting and delivering AI‑enabled mission or enterprise systems, including data integration, secure compute, and user‑facing applications across restricted or classified environments. 5+ years of experience designing and implementing data pipelines, ontologies, and application workflows on platforms such as Palantir Foundry or Gotham, including air‑gapped, degraded connectivity, or multi‑classification deployments. 5+ years of experience building secure analytics ecosystems, including log pipelines, monitoring frameworks, or network operational dashboards, whether greenfield or migrated from legacy tooling. 5+ years of experience with DevSecOps practices such as containerization, orchestration, CI/CD, and automated testing adapted for limited toolchain environments. 5+ years of experience integrating AI / ML capabilities into production workflows or operator tooling, including LLM‑backed assistants, model‑augmented decision aids, or automation that expands what a small team can deliver. Ability to quickly learn unfamiliar technologies, develop real hands‑on mastery, and lead engineers through full implementation with confidence. TS/SCI clearance. Bachelor’s degree. Preferred Qualifications Experience working across multiple clouds, enclaves, or classification levels on the same program, including translating architectures between NIPR, SIPR, JWICS, or local, state, or federal equivalents. Experience on major defense programs or with large systems integrators, delivering mission capability while navigating bureaucratic, acquisition, or compliance friction. Experience supporting DoD installations, operational units, or C2 systems, especially when the inherited environment was undocumented, partially broken, or technically inconsistent. Experience building agentic workflows, automation pipelines, or custom tooling that materially increased engineering throughput or reduced operator friction. Experience in a senior technical lead or architect role where you were accountable for both the design and successful delivery of the system. Master’s degree. AWS, Palantir Foundry or Gotham, Kubernetes, or similar architecture certification. Clearance Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. TS/SCI clearance is required.
